Activities handled by HR span an entire enterprise. Even a simple HR process may require approvals from managers at many different levels. That is not surprising, given the number of laws with which HR has to comply. And each day there are more. Lawyers want to make sure that HR is dotting every “i” and crossing every “t”. As a result, a detailed audit trail is essential when it comes to HR activities such as:

• Personnel Changes Including Compensation, Position or Title
• Employee Performance Appraisal and Review
• New Hire Processing and Termination Handling
• Travel, Expense and Time Reporting
• Vacation and Leave Requests

The Challenges

HR departments handle highly sensitive personal information at top speed. They have to do so while still maintaining the privacy of documents as they pass from hand to hand throughout the company. With paper-based systems this can be very complicated, error-prone and inefficient.

HR is expected to increase productivity while controlling costs. Time-sensitive information being delayed or mislaid can have serious consequences such as a key player not being hired or a regulatory deadline being missed.

To meet its obligations, HR needs to ensure that:

• Information is correct and routed properly and discreetly;
• Approval requests are handled efficiently and don’t end up sitting in someone's email or being assigned to someone out of the office;
• Managers don’t waste time tracking down an item due to lack of visibility into the process.
